Why fit baffles to the muzzle? Just go the whole hog and fit miniature rudders/elevators to the pellets. Initially they can be adjusted by hand to meet conditions, but once we can get small enough actuators they can be guided to the target.

In seriousness, though I think Jon Budd has clearly demonstrated the criticallity of accurate barrel crowning.
